Fuenteseca Cosecha Blanco Tequila 2018 (75cl, 44.8%)

A vintage-dated blanco tequila from Fuenteseca, made from overripe pinto Blue Weber agave harvested in 2018 at the Huerta Las Antenas orchard in Vista Hermosa, Michoacan. It was distilled at La Tequileña in Tequila, Jalisco, then rested in stainless steel with no oak. The agave was cooked in an autoclave, extracted by roller mill, fermented in open air and double distilled in copper pot stills. It is additive-free. The nose shows cooked agave with basil, tarragon and orange peel; the palate has strong minerality, floral notes, preserved Meyer lemon, light salinity, honeyed agave, sweet cooked yam and warm baking spice; the finish is full-bodied and lingering with sweet agave and citrus oils.
